seriously, have you listened to the albums of 1971 of the bands I've mentioned above?

Pink Floyd did Meddle which is one of their best works; the albums deserves attention just for the epic Echoes.
Yes did Fragile which again is a solid album, one of the best progressive rock albums like... ever!
Genesis welcomed guitarist Steve Hackett and drummer Phil Collins and released an amazing album - Nursery Cryme; songs like The Music Box, Fountain of Salmacis, Seven Stones, The Return of the Giant Hogweed are some of the best songs in the catalogue.
King Crimson released Islands, a very good album, again different than their previous works, a successful musical experiment to say the least.
UFO experimented with space rock/prog on their second album, a huge step forward from their debut album; the band was still looking for their sound, their 1971 album - Flying was an interesting experiment.

Man you people are so misled! Leonard Cohen's Songs of Love and Hate, and Joni Mitchell's Blue. Both the best albums by some of the best singer-songwriters of all time. Then there's Sandy Denny's The North Star Grassman and the Ravens, and awesome piece of folk rock. And Popol Vuh's In den Gärten Pharaos, I guess.

If we're talking about metal or harder forms of rock, I guess Master of Reality gets my vote.

I agree with the bands, great .if i choose all of the albums then the top list has no point
MY LIST IS TOP ALBUMS OF 1971 (TOP)
IF I CHOOSE ALL THIS I WILL MAKE A LIST OF 1971 ALBUMS, YOU CAN GO TO WIKIPEDIA

Don't send people to wiki, everybody just mentioned the albums they know.

I guess the discussion quickly turned to people mentioning their favourites from 1971 instead of commenting on the list, and there are plenty of great albums on it: Master of Reality, Led Zeppelin IV, Fireball, Aqualung...

Honestly you're better off creating a list of 1971 albums, because you really suck at creating a best-of.

ok master yoda, give us the light of your knoledge, tell us the 7 must albums of the year

That's the problem, bud. You can't just name seven. There are a hell of a lot. Alice Cooper's Love It To Death and Killers, Genesis' Nursery Crymes, Steppenwolf's For Ladies Only, Yes' The Yes Album and Fragile, King Crimson's Islands, The Rolling Stones' Stick Fingers, Electric Light Orchestra's self-titled, Deep Purple's Fireball, ZZ Top's First album, The Who's Who's Next, UFO's Flying, Grateful Dead's Self-Titled, Hawkwind's In Search of Space and Fank Zappa's 200 Motels (Which although it is a soundtract to a film, is pretty sweet).
Improve this list, you must. Or Die, you will.

no i want to tell seven you like most, not all the albums of the year.
THE ESSENCE OF A TOP LIST IS TO CHOOSE SOME.

if you disagree with my list, ok, but the 7 albums that i choose are must have for someone who like this kind of music, so simple
